FS2004 problem

I just installed FS2004 on my PC and here are the problems.
1) The graphics are awful as the water appears light blue and the ground has black patches. I have tried customise scenery but no change.
2) While taxing any aircraft, left rudder turns are almost impossible the aircraft automatically turns to the right. I have tried pressing num lock and the number 5 key to align the wheels straight but no change. The nose wheels seem to have a mind of its own and keep on turning left and right, left and right without any input from me.
3) Parking Brakes seem to be constantly engaged and cannot be released so I do a slew mode climb the aircraft and release it. By doing this the brakes are released (the flight is on ignore crash mode) and then I reset the flight and the brakes can be released, applied  as normal.
I have tried two different joysticks same result.
My pc configuration is as follows
Windows XP
RAM 512 DDR
Nvidia 128 MB Gea Force 440 card
120 GB hard disk
Microsoft Sidewinder Joystick
Logitech Forcefeedback joystick

What do you guys think needs to be done. Do I upgrade RAM or change the VGA card? Im totally frustrated and confused. I had an airliner pilot software which I had loaded and all the conflicts began afterwards. I have removed the airliner pilot software, changed the hard disk to a new one reloaded XP and now reloaded MS FS2004 but I still have these issues.
Can someone help.
Thanks ??? ??? :-/
